The destructive pest of chickpeas, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), is difficult to control using synthetic insecticides. current research examined the entomopathogenic and endophytic colonisation effects three fungal strains Beauveria bassiana (HASS; RFSL10; SP-IR-566) against H. larvae under laboratory, greenhouse, field conditions. Four inoculation methods were used in greenhouse: Root Dipping (RD), Leaf Spraying (LS), Stem Injection (SI), Seed Coating (SC), while spray application was for...
The carmine cochineal Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell) is the major insect pest of prickly-pear cactus Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) in Morocco. present study investigated insecticidal activities six essential oils (EOs) against nymphs and adult females D. applied singly or combination with a detergent under laboratory field conditions. Under conditions, M. pulegium O. vulgare L. showed high level activity at 5%, 98% 92% females' mortality, respectively, 5 days after treatments. vulgaris 5%...
The cactus Opuntia ficus-indica L. is widly cultivated in Morocco and has a very an important economic role as source of food, livestock feed not forgetting that it considered to be income for people rural communities. This crop subject the attack serious insect pest, Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell), which sucks sap from plant causing huge production losses since its introduction country 2014. present study investigated entomopathogenic effect six fungal isolates { Beauveria bassiana [HASS;...
The Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) cactus, a crucial crop in Morocco, is threatened by the wild cochineal, Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell). aim of this research was to investigate efficacy nine bacterial strains against both D. nymphs and adults females applied individually or after black soap laboratory, greenhouse, field conditions. Using partial 16S ribosomal DNA, isolates were identified as Pseudomonas koreensis, sp., Burkholderia sp. Bacillus Under laboratory conditions, insecticidal...
The wild cochineal Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) is one of the major insect pests prickly pear Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) in Morocco, a well-known fruit and vegetable crop arid semi-arid regions around world. present study investigated insecticidal potential six extracts (three aqueous three hydroalcoholic (MeOH/H2O, 20/80 (v/v)) from Atriplex halimus (leaves), Salvia rosmarinus (leaves) Cuminum cyminum (seeds) to control nymphs adult females D. under laboratory greenhouse...
The wild cochineal Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) has come to be a serious pest of prickly pear Opuntia ficus-indica L. in the Mediterranean region. present study investigated insecticidal activity four essential oils from common plants Cuminum cyminum, Cinnamomum camphora, Artemisia herba-alba, and Salvia rosmarinus against D. nymphs adult females, under laboratory greenhouse bioassays. Laboratory tests show that at 2.5%, C. cyminum oil induces 100% nymph mortality 3 hours...
The pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, PLW), is a significant insect pest of (Pisum sativum L.) and faba bean (Vicia L.), it responsible for serious economic damages. current study aims to investigate the insecticidal activities seven essential oil species on S. adults in laboratory as well most effective ones under growth chamber conditions. Out tested oils, Lavandula angustifolia Mill. Mentha arvensis oils showed substantial activity against (100%) by contact...
The mint rhizome borer, Datonychus melanostictus (Marsham, 1802), is a new pest of spearmint crop in Chaouia region north central Morocco. main damage caused by the larvae, which tunnel inside rhizomes. In this study, we investigated population fluctuation D. fields during two seasons 2013 and 2014 using sampling methods. emergence weevil begins late March, followed an increase egg laying activity May. A strong larval takes place at rhizomes below ground May to early June. Pupation mainly...
